The Youngest

He’s afraid of becoming less than human, so he makes the excuse of running away. There are only thoughts of himself inside his mind, because he believes that’s the way of the world.

There are no ‘others’ in his world, or if there are, they only occupy a brief space in his mind, and importance is measured by area multiplied by time. And so he runs away to save himself from becoming inhuman; to save what he considers ‘important’, and ends up losing the very importance he was trying to save.
